Lens Material?
Glass:
the most optically correct lens material offering the purest vision. Our LightWAVETM glass lenses are 20% thinner and 22% lighter, and still exceed federal standards for impact resistance.
CR-39:
exceptional resolution in the most optically correct, lightweight and scratch-resistant plastic lens material out there.
Polycarbonate:
when we can't use CR-39 (like our frameless and interchangeable lens styles) we use this stuff. Ours is cast and hard-coated to make it as tough as possible.
